| Description of the problem | Bought 2004 f-250 diesel 4 door lariet in may. We have had nothing but trouble. First it was taken in four times for a rattle had to replace door latch. Next the transmission was slipping was put on computer and was told nothing they could do until it totally broke down. Then the truck would die and i would loose steering and brakes had to replace electrical harness. The best one is the odor coming out the vents. Has been to 3 different shops in texas still not fixed. Odor has got so strong that my child has to take migraine pills if she is in the truck more than 30 min. I lend up having headaches,sleepy,sore throat and vomiting. Was told not to run the a/c but to run on max a/c no help from ford company. Please help us. Will it take someone to die before they do something about it. *jb |
